Chapter 88 Entering the Palace Again
Fu Danjun was looking downstairs, after all, it was the fourth floor.
If she jumped down, she would either die or break her legs. She was thinking of getting a rope or something to get down.
The guards suddenly burst in and everything was ruined.
The most terrible thing was that Fu Danjun was struggling with the guards.
A medicine bottle was thrown out from his sleeve.
Fu Danjun's face turned pale because it was the bottle of fake death medicine.
The guard was quicker than her and picked it up and put it under his nose to smell it.
Then he put it in his sleeve and snorted at Fu Danjun: "To prevent you from escaping, we have to hurry up."
So, Fu Danjun was put into a sack and tied to the horse's belly.
The guards ran all night in the rain. At this moment, Fu Danjun was most afraid of not being recognized by the emperor.
She was even more afraid that the guards with mean hands would give the fake death drug to the emperor.
In this way, the emperor has the evidence.
Her crime of deceiving the emperor and exterminating her entire clan was thus confirmed.
Woohoo! If I had known this would happen, I would have followed Wanyan Qi to the northern border.
Fu Danjun was so sad that she could not even cry, and she began to wonder whether Xie Changsheng would really kill her.
The tyrant might lock himself up and inflict all kinds of torture on himself.
If you don't obey, I will threaten you with extermination of your entire clan!
I don’t know how much time has passed, but Fu Danjun has become completely numb.
Her entire body had merged with the sack and she was unconscious.
Xie Changsheng had already received news in advance that the person who was acting suspiciously in front of Fu Danjun's tomb was about to enter the palace.
Xie Changsheng had a hunch that this person must have a close relationship with Fu Danjun.
Therefore, he sent a secret order to send this person to a secluded underground palace and not allow anyone to approach.
The guards received the news and carried the sack to the designated location.
Then he came to see the emperor.
Xie Changsheng rewarded him with silver and promoted him to a higher position: "Go back and continue guarding the tomb immediately. If there is anyone suspicious again, arrest them."
The guard thanked him and pulled a medicine bottle from his sleeve. He said, "This fell out of the sleeve of a suspicious person. I thought it was strange, so I brought it to you."
Xie Changsheng took the medicine bottle and smelled it, surprised: "This smell..."
In fact, this medicine has no smell.
This bottle is full of Fu Danjun's scent. Xie Changsheng has slept with Fu Danjun so many times, how could he not smell it?
"Okay, go ahead."
He waved his hand to send the guards away, and then called the imperial physician over: "Take a look, what kind of medicine is this?"
The imperial physician took the medicine bottle, poured a little into his palm and smelled it.
Then he put a little on his finger and tasted it, and was instantly horrified: "Your Majesty, this medicine is a rare fake death medicine called Yikouxiang. Taking a certain amount will make people hold their breath and fall into a deep sleep, just like pretending to be dead."
Xie Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then recovered after a while: "Got it, leave now."
Eunuch Chang Le came over and reported, "Your Majesty, everything has been settled."
Xie Changsheng did not respond, but went to Long's desk and wrote a letter.
This was a secret letter sent to Jiangnan, asking his trusted subordinates to dig up Fu Danjun's grave.
Because he suspected that Fu Danjun had faked his death, he had to get to the bottom of the matter.
On the other side, Fu Danjun was lying on the ground, worried.
Although the sack disappeared, her hands and feet were still tied.
Moreover, this is the palace, so there is no way to escape.
If I had known earlier that I would return to the palace, why would I have gone through so much trouble?
Then two maids came in.
They untied the ropes on Fu Danjun's hands and asked her to kneel down.
Xie Changsheng came in leisurely, fanning himself.
Fu Danjun took one look and immediately lowered his head, pretending to be timid.
"How dare you not kowtow to me when you see me?"
Xie Changsheng hoped that she would speak so that he could identify her by her voice.
But Fu Danjun deliberately said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
After saying that, she kowtowed.
Xie Changsheng asked seriously, "Who are you?"
Fu Danjun said in a hoarse voice, "My name is Zhang Cuifeng."
Xie Changsheng sat down irritably, fanning himself and observing her for a while.
"Send her to the Ministry of Punishment."
Meanwhile, his men were hurrying to dig the grave, and when they opened the coffin they discovered that the corpse was a scarecrow in disguise.
So they took the scarecrow back to the palace to see the emperor.
The nearby gravekeeper has a very good relationship with the Fu family and comes to take care of Fu Danjun's tomb from time to time.
But he was a step too late and was discovered only after being dug up.
The Fu family was extremely anxious because they couldn't find Fu Danjun.
Lan Fang cried bitterly: "It's all my fault for not following the young lady closely. It's all my fault."
Fu Xiaoshan held on at the critical moment: "Sister, good luck is with you. Let's not scare ourselves too much. Maybe she will be back soon."
The family was in chaos when the gravekeeper came running over in a hurry.
"Oh no! Miss Danjun's coffin has been dug up."
This one sentence plunged the Fu family into even greater panic.
Fu Yi and Jiang Zhi fainted on the ground one after another. Fu Xiaoshan and Cui asked a doctor and sent people to check the cemetery. They were very busy for a while.
Lan Fang cried even harder, thinking that once the young lady's fake death was exposed, it would surely anger the emperor.
It would be fine if the young lady submitted to the emperor, but if she refused to do so, she would suffer.
The worst thing was that she could do nothing but take care of the master and the mistress.
Fu Xiaoshan ran to the cemetery and saw that the coffin was empty.
So he sighed and said that the Fu family would face a great disaster.
Of course, it also depends on how my sister deals with the emperor.
If the emperor is happy, he won't pursue anything and everyone will be happy.
Finally, he asked a few servants to help bury the grave.
Clean up the surroundings so that others won’t be surprised to see the tattered things.
Fu Danjun suffered a lot in the Ministry of Punishment. Although he was not severely tortured, he could not avoid physical pain.
Xie Changsheng secretly instructed that she could bleed a little.
As a result, she received many spankings on her buttocks.
Later, a maid poured water on her, causing the human skin mask on her face to loosen.
A sharp-eyed guard noticed it and came over to tear off the mask.
Fu Danjun's eyes suddenly turned dark, and he knew that he was completely finished.
When Xie Changsheng heard about the mask, he went to the Ministry of Punishment in person.
Fu Danjun was already sleeping on the ground, but his face was clearly visible in Xie Changsheng's eyes.
He wanted to rush in and beat her up immediately, but when he saw her like that, he couldn't bear it.
"Carry it back and wash it clean."
After saying this, he returned to his bedroom and busied himself with government affairs.
Because he thought he would spend time with Fu Danjun next, he had to finish the government affairs as soon as possible.
Eunuch Chang understood his intention and said with a smile, "I heard that many Jiangnan restaurants have opened in the capital. I believe the emperor will be interested."
Xie Changsheng glanced at him and cursed: "You old sly fellow, I can't hide my thoughts from you."
Eunuch Chang quickly apologized with a smile, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. What I meant was that Jiangnan cuisine has become popular in the capital due to the influence of the selection of beautiful women from Jiangnan."
Xie Changsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head when he heard this: "What a pity for those women who entered the palace."
The implication is that he doesn't want to favor any of them.
In the evening, Xie Changsheng came to see Fu Danjun.
Fu Danjun had just woken up and was curled up in bed.
